We would invite you to participate in a short, 3 to 5-minute survey instrument to gather your thoughts and feelings toward the remote learning experience. We deeply appreciate your feedback as it will help lead us to opportunities for continuous improvement for our district services. The survey is being conducted by our partners in the ECRA Group, Inc. at www.ecrasurvey.com/triad2 And will require the parent access code: 8H#2N (this access code is case sensitive). We appreciate your time and partnership to support the information needed for continuous improvement. Thank you!http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27905936
27905936Wed, 27 May 2020 00:00:00 GMTTerry Box to Retire After 22 Years at Triad<img src="http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_243732/Image/Terry%20Box.png" />Terry Box, a district technology technician, has spent his entire 41-year career assisting users with technology and the past 22 years providing tech support to users at Triad Schools. Terry has been an influential team member in the setup and use of technology in our district during this time. Terry not only has served on committees for the design of the technology systems in past and present school buildings, but he has also been largely responsible for the installation of these systems. Terry has always enjoyed the construction work that goes into building these systems; pulling and terminating wire, managing the install of AV equipment (from TVs to projectors to now LCD panels), and most importantly configuring the computer devices. While gone are the 100 degree summer days of pulling wire between classrooms in our older school buildings, he has taken great accomplishment in seeing the transformation of our “wired” district to one that is now “wireless”. We are certain that many Triad employees will miss having Terry’s cell phone on their speed dial as he looks forward to spending more time with his grandkids and purchasing a winter house in Georgia. We wish a proud Triad graduate and employee the best life has to offer in his retirement. Congratulations, Terry!http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27896647
27896647Sat, 23 May 2020 00:00:00 GMTMary Bassett to Retire After 15 Years at Triad<img src="http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_243732/Image/Mary%20Bassett%20(1).png" />Mary Bassett, a paraprofessional at Triad Middle School, is retiring after 15 years of service in the Triad District. Mrs. Bassett has taken on instructional responsibilities inside the classroom and as well as helping students navigate through the unstructured parts of the school day. Mrs. Bassett is known for liking structure just like when she reminds everyone that Wednesday is “hump day.” And the students are going to miss her morning “hellos” as she stationed herself outside the library to greet each student every morning. Luckily, the office captured her most memorable moment on video not long ago, something she will always be remembered for - the day she thought she could fill the secretary’s chair but quickly found out that it is hard to fill someone else’s “chair” just like it will be hard to find someone who can fill Mrs. Bassett’s “chair” next year. We wish Mrs. Bassett a relaxing, fun-filled retirement. Congratulations, Mary!http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27896032
27896032Fri, 22 May 2020 00:00:00 GMTJanice Farace to Retire After 25 Years at Triad <img src="http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_243732/Image/Janice%20Farace.png" />Janice Farace, Triad High School Science Teacher, is retiring after 33 years in education and 25 years in the Triad School District. Mrs. Farace received her Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Biology from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Early in Mrs. Farace’s career she got involved in coaching and mentoring. Of the seven student teachers Mrs. Farace hosted, two of those joined her at Triad in the Science Department. She’s also had the unique experience of working at the “old” high school for a few years before moving into the new state-of-the-art high school back in 1999. Mrs. Farace pointed out that the new, shiny labs and big classrooms were wonderful but what has been more memorable and important to her over the years was the people she was surrounded by not the building. Her Science colleagues pushed each other to be the best Science Department it could be and strived to embed a love of science in their students. There is no doubt that a number of her students are likely studying or treating Covid-19 today - including her daughter. When she finishes her final days in her classroom this year, the hallways and desks will be empty, but she will always remember the satisfying moments of working with her students in person and hearing the occasional remark, “this is the hardest class that I loved.” We wish Mrs. Farace safe travels as she visits all her kids and time to get outside and enjoy events and outings with her husband.http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27892367
27892367Thu, 21 May 2020 00:00:00 GMTCindy Kline to Retire After 20 Years at Triad<img src="http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_243732/Image/Cindy%20Kline.png" />Cindy Kline, 6th grade Special Education Teacher, is retiring after 20 years of service in the Triad District. Mrs. Kline received her Bachelor's Degree from Indiana University and her Master's Degree from Rockford University. During her career, Mrs. Kline’s experiences included teaching birth to age-five children, teaching English as a second language, and teaching adult living skills. At Triad, Mrs. Kline enjoyed helping her colleagues when she wasn’t teaching. For six years, she served as the Triad Education Association President and for several years she coordinated grade-level events - events that she and her students will always remember. In the future, Mrs. Kline would love to take spontaneous trips, but she is content with staying home until it is safe to travel. She can count on her grandkids to keep her busy in the meantime. We wish Mrs. Kline a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled retirement. Congratulations, Cindy!http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27875643
27875643Wed, 20 May 2020 00:00:00 GMTAngie Bigham<img src="http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_243732/Image/Angie%20Bigham.png" />Angie Bigham, 8th Grade Reading Teacher, is retiring after 20 years of service in the Triad District. Mrs. Bigham received her degrees from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Mrs. Bigham served on several committees over the years and hosted many student teachers. She is known for her smile and easy going nature. Over the 20 years Mrs. Bigham remembers so many students who encountered hardships either at school or during life after TMS. Because of those students and memories, she found it important to embrace all the TMS activities that supported students and families in need. Change drives, goofy costumes and getting egged were all fun and for a good cause-helping Triad students and families. More than anything though, she will treasure the lasting friendships she has made at Triad Middle School! Mrs. Bigham is certain that there are travel plans in her future with her husband but will also enjoy reflecting on all those moments as a teacher when she knew she was making a difference. We wish Mrs. Bingham safe travels, lots of time to read-possibly around a campfire on Kentucky Lake.http://triadhs.tcusd2.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=243992&pageId=27873055
